Léandre/Houle/Strid - Last Seen Headed

Bruce Lee Galanter, DMG Newsletter

Ms. Leandre and Mr. Houle have worked on three previous releases, all
released on the Red Toucan label. This is the second disc for this
particular trio lineup, and again it is quite special. This is three
musicians from different backgrounds, Joelle is French, Francois is
Canadian and Raymond is Swedish, yet the common ground is spontaneous
improvisation. It works best when the musicians listen closely and
react quickly, combining forces is a communal way. There is a certain
magical force that holds this combination together as they weave their
way around one another intricately. Their is a certain amount of trust
and daring that goes into this instant communion. There are moments of
beauty and moments of stunning architecture, the way it all fits
together as one dynamic force. Things are often not what they seem, it
looks like just a trio of clarinet, contrabass and drums, yet they
consistently exchange roles and ideas. From the intense to the subtle,
from the delicate to the explosive, the trio is in flux and keeps
shifting through a variety of textures and interactions. This is one
the freshest, most exciting and most riveting sessions I've heard...
Now it is your turn to be knocked out.
